In second quarter 2004, the Investment Bank posted a pre-tax profit of CHF 923 million, down 8% from the same quarter last year. Revenues rose 5% compared to the same period a year earlier, driven by strong results from investment banking. Costs were affected by the civil penalty levied by the Federal Reserve Board relating to our banknote trading business and an increase in operational provisions. Pre-tax profit fell 45% from the record result reported in first quarter 2004, reflecting the increased general and administrative expenses, as well as reduced trading opportunities in less active markets.
